I can't believe that I'm publishing my first novel, A Patriot's Tale, a historical fiction novel set during the American Revolutionary War. It's my first book, quite literally: I started writing it when I was 12 years old! But don't worry, it's gone through many drafts and many edits.
It even won the Historical Fiction Watty 2020 award.
But the days of Wattpad are no more because I'm self-publishing on Amazon with a fully edited and cleaned up version of my A Patriot's Tale. I'm so excited to share with you the brand new cover and book summary!
My book cover was created by the ever-amazing and talented Jonas of Fantasy & Coffee Designs. But if you've read my other books, you know that he's my cover artist for all of them, so this isn't brand new information. What is brand new information is that he encapsulated my vision into a book cover. I asked for a redhead in colonial garb with a pistol in one hand, and a very patriotic background, and BAM! Jonas definitely did that.
The summary:
As the American Revolutionary War rages on, seventeen-year-old Lily Thompson escapes her loyalist-infested town and joins the rebel cause in South Carolina as a ward for the downtrodden Turner family.
Disgusted as a man, Lily joins a local raid against the British army, but is soon kidnapped and held for ransom by a vicious British officer who quickly becomes obsessed with the fiery young woman. Forced to fight the only way she knows how while protecting those she loves, Lily agrees to become a honeypot.
With harsh judgments and surprising twists, Lily faces unimaginable threats against the rebel cause— and her life.
